There’s nothing revelatory here but it’s a really well put-together video. It also features an interview with composers Aivi Tran & Steven “Surasshu” Velema, as well as clips from the show, San Diego Comic-Con 2017, and performances found elsewhere on the DVD.

“Behind the Music” is a telling of how music is used in Steven Universe mainly framed through an interview with Rebecca Sugar.

There are five total: I love two of them, found two others to be good, and one was a dud. Once you can get past the lack of commentaries, I do think that overall the features are good.

Let’s get to what will be the biggest thing for many: special features. The other menus are also nice looking and have tracks from show’s score. The main menu is particularly great, featuring an image of the statue hand from the credits with the instrumental version of “Love Like You” playing. The menus are minimalistic but beautiful. The discs themselves are also very pretty and the inside card lists all the episodes with another image of the Rose Quartz gem on the back of it. This presentation is very cool and I love the image of his gem in particular. Same with the back of the box: the outside back is the back of Steven’s head, and the inside back is the back of his shirt. The presentation of the DVD is a major highlight, following up on the style Cartoon Network has previously used for its DVD releases of Adventure Time. The outside box features what seems like a weird choice of Steven’s face, but when stacked on top of the front of the inside box, which depicts Steven holding up his shirt to reveal his gem, the pair create a two-part image. There are subtitles available for every episode. The episodes still play beautifully though they look great and have great sound. Having no Blu-ray option available is a little baffling, but somewhat par for the course with a lot of animated shows unfortunately. You probably aren’t buying this DVD to re-watch or to show Season 1 to friends with, since it isn’t in HD. It’s a really well put-together collection, despite the lack of a Blu-ray version or commentary tracks (to be clear: there are none) like Cartoon Network was initially advertising.

This three-disc collection features every episode of Season 1 of the show ( alongside a couple of episodes usually placed in Season 2) in a beautiful presentation with some additional cool special features on the third disc.

“Steven Universe: The Complete First Season” is the highly anticipated first major U.S.
